3. Intended use

The BWT water filtering system may only be operated with cold water
fulfilling the legal requirements made on drinking water quality.
The water filter is unsuitable for the production of drinking water; i.e. the
filter may not be used for treatment of contaminated water.
The BWT filtered water is intended for short-term use. It may not be exposed
to direct radiation of the sun, is to be stored in a cool place and not longer
than 24 hours. If the filtered water is kept longer than 24 hours in the water
filtering system, white marks may occur in the jug through the evaporation
of water, which can easily be removed through cleaning.
After filtering more than 3 litres continuously, a 15 minute pause should be
made.
Permanent water contact to the filter cartridge is not particularly necessary in
order to guarantee long-term operation of the filter cartridge. The filter cart-
ridge continues to function, even if it is taken out of the water for some time.
If ‚Officially' you are requested to boil the tap water due to contamination
with germs, this still applies to BWT filtered water. When the authorities
classify the tap water again as harmless and release it for consumption, the
filter cartridge must be changed. The water filtering system is to be cleaned
(see chapter 6.1 and 8).
For certain groups of people, e.g. people with limited immune defence and
for the preparation of baby food, the BWT filtered water is to be boiled.
For hygienic reasons the filter cartridge contains small quantities of silver, in
order to suppress the growth of germs. A small quantity of silver may be given
off to the water. It is harmless and in compliance with the corresponding re-
commendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) for potable water.
The filter cartridge should be replaced at least 4 weeks after its first use.
Appliance for the treatment of drinking water:
Attention: in order to guarantee the requisite of drinkability of the treated
water and to maintain the improvements as declared by the manufacturer,
this appliance requires a regular and periodic maintenance.
